So once those cured, I was finally able to do a full suit up

After trying on the thighs with this (not shown) it has become apparent that I’m going to have to trim them down at the top a bit all the way around. I’ll probably take them in a bit as well, making them a little more narrow for skinny legs.

Anyway, please let me know if you see any adjustments…[Read more]

Borrowed a giant stock pot from a friend. Worked perfectly for the hot water bath on the thighs

One thing I am concerned about though is now that the thighs are trimmed down they are fairly narrow, so the butt joins aren’t going to be flat for the cover strips. I ran into this problem when trimming down my forearms but I was able to give them a hot water bath and…[Read more]

So I finally have enough of my soft goods (undersuit and gloves) to do fitment adjustments on the arms

I’m being very meticulous with getting it right. Both for upper level approval from FISD (after 501st approval) but also getting it looking exactly how I want it within those specs.
